Introduction	A private banker and magazine columnist in my past life, I have taught English & creative writing for over 10 years in a private British international school. My Masters dissertation research involved comparing the plight of females in both Confucian and Communist China, which left me disappointed as there really isn't any difference between 3-inch lotus feet and 3-inch Mao belts! Though teaching is gratifying & tickles my grey cells, writing is my main passion, and I find my Muse in my three adorable munchkins and my varied travel experiences. Interior design/architecture is another love & I am an occasional cook, a frequent soiree-hostess, a recent epicurean, a part-time poet & ever an eternal optimist!
